REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Wave Sync Corp.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the condensed balance sheet of Wave Sync Corp. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018, and the related condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and condensed statements of cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the interim financial statements). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 13, 2018, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2018 AND DECEMBER 31, 2017

(Stated in US Dollars)

Wave Sync Corp. formerly known as China Bio-Energy Corp. (the “Company”), and prior to that known as China INSOnline Corp., was incorporated on December 23, 1988 as Lifequest Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

In June 2010, the Company ceased all operations conducted by its then subsidiaries: Ever Trend Investment Limited, Run Ze Yong Cheng (Beijing) Technology, San Teng Da Fei Technology, and Guang Hua Insurance Agency (“Ever Trend Group”); on January 27, 2015, the Company announced the completion of the disposition of the aforementioned subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company has excluded the accounts of Ever Trend Group in these financial statements and the accompanying notes contained herein.

On November 12, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Ding Neng Holdings Ltd, an investment holdings company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Ding Neng Holdings”); the share exchange agreement was amended on December 6, 2010, whereby the Company, under the share exchange agreement and its related amendment, would have contemplated acquiring 100% of Ding Neng Holdings in exchange for the issuance of 26,162,505 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001. Under the share exchange agreement, the Company would have contemplated owning and operating Ding Neng Holdings and Ding Neng Holdings’ directly, and indirectly held subsidiaries: Ding Neng Bio-technology Co., Ltd. (“Ding Neng HK”), Zhangzhou Fuhua Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“WOFE”), and Ding Neng Bio-tech. Ding Neng HK was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on September 10, 2010. Ding Neng HK did not have any operations. Ding Neng HK has been delinquent with its annual regulatory filings in Hong Kong, and should be considered dormant and defunct. Ding Neng HK was wholly-owned by Ding Neng Holdings. Zhangzhou Fuhua Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) was incorporated as a wholly-foreign owned entity under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), on November 2, 2010. WFOE was wholly-owned by Ding Neng HK. Ding Neng Bio-tech was incorporated under the laws of the PRC on December 8, 2006. It was located in Zhangzhou city Fujian Province of PRC. Ding Neng Bio-tech was engaged in the production, refinement and distribution of bio-diesel fuel in Southern China. Ding Neng Bio-tech operated a biodiesel manufacturing facility in Zhangzhou city. On October 28, 2010, WFOE and Ding Neng Bio-tech entered into a set of variable interest entity agreements that included: (1) a Consulting Service Agreement with Ding Neng Bio-tech, which entitled WFOE to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Ding Neng Bio-tech in consideration for services provided by WFOE to Ding Neng Bio-tech, (2) an Option Agreement with Xinfeng Nie, Sanfu Huang, and Shunlong Hu (the shareholders of Ding Neng Bio-tech) allowing the WFOE to acquire all the shares of Ding Neng Bio-tech as permitted by PRC laws, (3) a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement that provides WFOE with the all voting rights of the Ding Neng Bio-tech shareholders, and (4) an Equity Pledge Agreement that pledges the shares in Ding Neng Bio-tech to WFOE (VIE Agreements). These VIE Agreements granted effective control of Ding Neng Bio-tech to WFOE. On June 4, 2015, WFOE filed a civil action in Haicang District People’s Court of Xiamen, Fujian, PRC (the “Court”) against Ding Neng Bio-tech, alleging that the purposes of those certain executed VIE Agreements entered into by WFOE and Ding Neng Bio-Tech on October 28, 2010, had been frustrated, and that these VIE Agreements should be terminated. WFOE alleged that Ding Neng Bio-Tech did not make any payment of service fees to WFOE, and that Ding Neng Bio-Tech failed to perfect the security interest in the pledged stocks. On July 14, 2015, this case was settled via in-court mediation directed by the Court. As a result, WFOE and Ding Neng Bio-Tech entered into binding settlement, among other things, (i) to terminate the VIE Agreements, and (ii) that the litigation fee in the amount of RMB10,000 (approximately $1,610.50) would be borne by Ding Neng Bio-Tech. Ding Neng Holdings is delinquent with its regulatory filings and annual fees to the British Virgin Islands; accordingly, the Ding Neng Holdings should be considered dormant and defunct.

Given that the Company has not been able to exercise effective control over Ding Neng Bio-Tech or to access Ding Neng Bio-tech’s financial information since 2011, and the VIE Agreements were terminated, the Company has excluded the accounts of Ding Neng Bio-Tech’s in these financial statements and the accompanying notes contained herein; the exclusion of such accounts is considered as a type two material subsequent event that occurred prior to the issuance of the financial statements but after the balance sheets dates that required material adjustments to the financial statements presented. Ding Neng Holdings is delinquent and defunct; the Company has determined that the Company was never registered as the sole shareholder of Ding Neng Holdings pursuant to the share exchange agreement dated November 12, 2010, and amended December 6, 2010; accordingly, the Company has excluded the accounts of Ding Neng and its subsidiaries in these financial statements and the accompanying notes as contained herein; the exclusion of such accounts is considered as a type two material subsequent event that occurred prior to the issuance of the financial statements but after the balance sheets dates that required material adjustments to the financial statements presented. The Company accounted for the issuance of shares to the shareholders of Ding Neng Holdings under the contemplated share exchange transaction as a recapitalization of the Company under reverse take-over accounting; accordingly, the Company’s historical stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented; as a result of the Company not being updated to Ding Neng Holdings shareholder register, and that Ding Neng Holdings being defunct, the Company has written off all investments made in Ding Neng as loss on investment in subsidiary.

In connection with the share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Ding Neng Holdings that contemplated the acquisition of Ding Neng Holdings and its subsidiaries, the Company elected to adopt the fiscal year used by Ding Neng Holdings, which was a calendar year; accordingly, the Company’s financial statements presented herein have been, and on a go-forward basis, will be prepared using a December 31 year-end date, and each operating period will cover twelve full calendar months.

Share Purchase Agreement

On October 19, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company (“EGOOS BVI”), which owns 100% of EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited, a Hong Kong company (“EGOOS HK”), which owns 100% of Move the Purchase Consulting Management (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“WOFE”), a foreign investment enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC, and which has, through various contractual agreements known as variable interest entity (“VIE”) agreements.  These VIE agreements provide the WOFE management control and the rights to the profits of Guangzhou Yuzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC as a variable interest entity (“GZYZ”), which owns 100% of Shenzhen Qianhai Exce-card Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“SQEC”), which owns 100% of Guangzhou Rongsheng Information Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“GZRS”) and the sole shareholder of EGOOS BVI.  The VIE agreements include: (1) an Exclusive Service Agreement between WOFE and GZYZ, which entitles WOFE to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of GZYZ in consideration for services provided by WOFE to GZYZ, (2) a Call Option Agreement with the shareholders of GZYZ, Yang Wenbin and Li Ping, allowing the WOFE to acquire all the shares of GZYZ as permitted by PRC laws, (3) a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement that provides WOFE with all the voting rights of the GZYZ’s shareholders, and (4) an Equity Pledge Agreement that pledges the shares in GZYZ to WOFE.  Management has assessed the terms of the VIE agreements and determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those agreements based on Management’s ability to direct the use and disposition of GZYZ assets including the payment of future profits to the Company.  Management also determined the Company has implicitly provided financial support to GYZY; accordingly, Management believes that GZYZ and its subsidiaries should be consolidated as variable interest entities of the Company.  

SQEC was incorporated on November 11, 2013. The Company is in the business of design, development, and proliferation of next generation debit and credit cards for financial institutions employing innovative secured encryption technology transmitted via audio wave technology. The Company is working with China Union Pay and China Construction Bank under a potential pilot program to develop new audio bank cards and market to end user bank customers and business operators to adopt these next generation of cards by developing point of sale and commercial interfaces via software and other solutions to generate demand for these cards as a value-added alternative to current generation debit and credit cards.

On January 28, 2015, ownership of SQEC’s was transferred from Bao, Shanshan to Xiang, Zuyue for a consideration of approximately $1,629,062 (RMB 10,000,000). Simultaneously, Xiang, Zuyue transferred 40% of ownership to Li, Na for a consideration of $651,625 (RMB 4,000,000). On July 24, 2015, SQEC entire ownership was collectively transferred from Xiang, Zuyue and Li, Na to Guangzhou Yuzhi Information Technology Co. Ltd. (“GZYZ”) for a consideration of approximately $1,629,062 (RMB 10,000,000).

On March 16, 2015, the GZRS was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SQEC. GZRS has an authorized capital of RMB 1,000,000. As of the date of this report, GZRS has not been capitalized.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a convertible note to EGOOS BVI’s sole shareholder for 100% equity interest in EGOOS BVI. The note is convertible into 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock contingent on the following conditions: (i) the Company has effectuated a reverse split of all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the issuance of the note (the “Reverse Split”) and (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for 3 business days within any period of 10 consecutive business days exceeds $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Conditions”). Upon conversion of the note, the existing shareholders of the Registrant will own an aggregate of 24.7% of the post-acquisition entity. The note was issued at par, unsecured, interest free, and was due on the second anniversary of the issuance date of the note. In accounting for the note, the Company assumed that the note did not carry any discount from face that required accretion as interest expense to its results of operations, including any potential beneficial conversion features. On January 26, 2016, the reverse split was effectuated, and subsequently, on February 4, 2016, the convertible promissory note was converted into 15 million newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion of the promissory note has been recognized retroactively to the first period presented as a component of the reverse takeover transactions detailed below.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company has controlled EGOOS BVI and its intermediary holding companies, operating subsidiaries, and variable interest entities: EGOOS HK, WOFE, GZYZ, SQEC, and GZRS from the first period presented. The transactions detailed above have been accounted for as reverse takeover transactions and a recapitalization of the Company, including the conversion of the convertible promissory note; accordingly, the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and EGOOS BVI (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. No goodwill has been recorded. As a result of this transaction, the Company is deemed a continuation of the business of EGOOS BVI and SQEC.

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of those wholly-owned subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2018, the detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows:

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that allow for reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

The consolidated balance sheets and certain comparative information as of December 31, 2017 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Annual Financial Statements”), included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Annual Financial Statements.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

The Company classifies the following instruments as cash and cash equivalents: cash on hand, unrestricted bank deposits, and all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Other receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when recovery of the full amount is doubtful.

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method with a salvage value of 10%. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

The long-lived assets held by the Company are reviewed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10-35, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Impairment is present if carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company assessed the carrying value and has taken impairment losses to its assets during 2018.

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine income taxes for the year. The Company has implemented FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States, People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Hong Kong tax laws provide for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes, related primarily to differences arising from the recognition of expenses related to the depreciation of plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and provisions for doubtful accounts between financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes.

A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Also, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.

The Company values stock awards using the market price on or around the date the shares were awarded and includes the amount of compensation as a period compensation expense over the requisite service period.

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $874,587 and $0 stock-based compensation was recognized.

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong dollar (HKD). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollar at the rates used in translation.

The Company recognizes services revenue when the following criteria have been met: 1.) it has agreed and entered into a contract for service with it customers, 2.) the contract has set forth a fixed fee for the services to be rendered, 3.) the Company has fully rendered service to its customers, and there are no additional obligations that exist that under the terms of the contract that the Company has not fulfilled, and 4.) the Company has either received payment, or reasonably expects payment from the customer in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the contract.

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company presents components of comprehensive income with equal prominence to other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its financial statements.

As of June 30, 2018, except for the above, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires that the Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, loan receivables and short-term bank loans, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.

The following tables present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance to ASC 820-10

The patent was impaired during the period ended June 30, 2018 and was written off to other expense.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company shall issue to the two noteholders an aggregate of approximately 1,106,837 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, par value $0.001, in exchange for the Noteholders’ Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,213,673. The common stock were subsequently issued to the two note holders on April 6, 2017 and April 7, 2017, respectively – please refer to note 3 related party receivables and payables.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, 21,027,713 shares issued and outstanding at par value of $0.001 per share.

Stock option compensation

On October 20, 2017, the Company issued to Mr. Yang Liu, the option to purchase 1,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued upon his exercise of such option. The option vests in three tranches according to the following schedule: 350,000 shares at October 19, 2018, 350,000 shares at October 19, 2019, and 350,000 at October 19, 2020. All three tranches expire on October 19, 2022. The Company has used the widely accepted Black Scholes Merton Option Pricing Model to measure the fair value of these securities, because of their plain vanilla nature of this option. The Company employed the followings assumptions to calculate the fair value of the option: expected forfeiture rate: 0%, risk free rate: 2.03%, expiration date: October 19, 2022, exercise price: $1.00, annualized volatility: 602.71%, dividend yield: 0%, and the Company’s closing stock price at the year end. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded stock option compensation expense of $874,587 and $0.

The Company was incorporated in the United States of America (“USA”). The Company does not generate any taxable income from its operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

The reconciliation of USA statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

Uncertain Tax Positions

Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax, and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties expenses. Currently, the Company is not subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Deferred Income Tax Benefits

Deferred income tax benefits arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover the deferred tax assets, the management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal, and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. As of June 30, 2018, management was uncertain as to whether or not the Company would be able to utilize the potential deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses’ since the Company is not currently generating any revenue; accordingly, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax assets.

Basic loss per common share from operations attributable to the Company is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted loss per common share from continuing operations attributable to the Company is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the relevant period adjusted for the dilutive effect of share-based awards. The Company did not have significant share-based awards outstanding that were antidilutive and not included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share from operations attributable to the Company for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted (loss) earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had accumulated deficits of $26,694,626 and working capital deficit of current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,208,782. Management’s plan to support the Company in operations and to maintain its business strategy is to raise funds through public and private offerings and to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal compensation. If we do not raise all of the money we need from public or private offerings, we will have to find alternative sources, such as loans or advances from our officers, directors or others. Such additional financing may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional financing that the Company does obtain will be sufficient to meet its needs in the long term. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing. If we require additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations or cease business entirely.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company had certain customers who represented 10% or more of the Company’s total sales. For the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company generated service revenue from one customer, which represented 100% of the revenue. For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company generated service revenue from three customers, which represented 33%, 30%, and 35% of the revenue. The Company is unable to forecast if re-occurring services revenue will be generated from these customers.

The Company had certain vendors who represented 10% or more of the Company’s total cost of sales or expenses, or whose accounts payable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts payable. For the six month period ended June 30, 2018, there was no concentration in any specific vendor. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, two vendors accounted for 20% and 80% of accounts payable, respectively.

The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions located in the United States and the PRC. Accounts located in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. Accounts located outside of the United States are not insured and may be subject to such risk.

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from June 30, 2018 through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There was no subsequent event at the report date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition since the Company’s inception should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this quarterly report. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “possible,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “could,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, availability of additional equity or debt financing, changes in sales or industry trends, competition, retention of senior management and other key personnel, availability of materials or components, ability to make continued product innovations, adverse results of lawsuits against us and currency exchange rates. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Readers of this report are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and speak only as of the date hereof. Management undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. This cautionary statement is applicable to all forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Overview of Business

The Company is a development stage in the business of design, development, and proliferation of next generation debit and credit cards for financial institutions employing innovative secured encryption technology transmitted via audio wave technology. The Company has partnered with China Union Pay and China Construction Bank under a pilot program to develop its audio bank cards and market to the end using bank customers and business operators to adopt the next generation of bank cards. The Company is developing point of sale and commercial interfaces via software and other solutions to generate demand for these new audio cards as a value-added alternative to current generation debit and credit cards.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.  On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. 

While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of those wholly-owned subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2018, the detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows:

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that allow for reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

The consolidated balance sheets and certain comparative information as of December 31, 2017 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Annual Financial Statements”), included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Annual Financial Statements.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

The Company classifies the following instruments as cash and cash equivalents: cash on hand, unrestricted bank deposits, and all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Other receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when recovery of the full amount is doubtful.

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method with a salvage value of 10%. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

The long-lived assets held by the Company are reviewed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10-35, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Impairment is present if carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes no impairment has occurred to its assets during 2018.

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine income taxes for the year. The Company has implemented FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States, People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Hong Kong tax laws provide for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes, related primarily to differences arising from the recognition of expenses related to the depreciation of plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and provisions for doubtful accounts between financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes.

A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Also, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.

The Company values stock awards using the market price on or around the date the shares were awarded and includes the amount of compensation as a period compensation expense over the requisite service period.

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $874,587 and $0 stock-based compensation was recognized.

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong dollar (HKD). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollar at the rates used in translation.

The Company recognizes services revenue when the following criteria have been met: 1.) it has agreed and entered into a contract for service with it customers, 2.) the contract has set forth a fixed fee for the services to be rendered, 3.) the Company has fully rendered service to its customers, and there are no additional obligations that exist that under the terms of the contract that the Company has not fulfilled, and 4.) the Company has either received payment, or reasonably expects payment from the customer in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the contract.

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company presents components of comprehensive income with equal prominence to other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its financial statements.

As of June 30, 2018, except for the above, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires that the Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, loan receivables and short-term bank loans, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.

The following tables present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance to ASC 820-10

Results of Operations

We are a development stage company and have generated minimal revenues from operations since our inception on November 11, 2013 to June 30, 2018.  As of June 30, 2018, we had total assets of $105,504 and total liabilities of $1,252,977. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

We are in the process of developing our products and services. Consequently, we generated minimal revenues as of the date of this report. We have an accumulated deficit and have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect losses to continue during 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had accumulated deficits of $26,694,626 and working capital deficit of current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,208,782. The Company’s management plans to raise capital through public and private offerings to fund its business operations and to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal expenditure and compensation. If we do not raise the money we need from public or private offerings, we will have to find alternative sources, such as loans or advances from our officers, directors or others. Such additional financing may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional financing that the Company obtains will be sufficient to meet its needs in the long term. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, the terms of such financing may contain undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing. If we require additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations or cease business entirely.

Three Months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Revenue 

We generated revenues from our audio banking card operations (including software and hardware) in the past. We have no revenues during this quarter ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $422 of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our revenue decreased by $422, or 100% during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 primarily because the number of orders decreased.

Expenses

General and administrative and professional fee expenses were generally related to corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting, developmental costs, and marketing expenses. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred general and administrative expenses and professional fees of $547,532 and $267,023, respectively, which reflects an increase of $280,509 or approximately 105%. Such increase in our general and administrative expenses was primarily attributed to the stock compensation expense paid to the management in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Six Months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Revenue 

We generated revenues from our audio banking card operations (including software and hardware) in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. We have earned $88,908 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $209,061 of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our revenue decreased by $120,153, or 57% during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 primarily because the number of orders decreased.

Expenses

General, administrative and professional fee and expenses were generally related to corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting, developmental costs, and marketing expenses. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred general and administrative expenses and professional fees of $1,205,351 and $557,171, respectively, which reflects an increase of $648,180 or approximately 116%. Such increase in our general and administrative expenses was primarily attributed to the stock compensation expense paid to the management incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance the costs of our operations, make capital expenditures and service our debt. We continue to be dependent on our ability to generate revenues, positive cash flows and additional financing.

Cash Flows

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the net cash used in operating activities were $206,683 and $413,720, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities of $207,037 was primarily due to the increased account payable and other payable.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the net cash used in investing activities was $0 and $63,135, reflecting a decrease of $63,135. Such decrease in net cash used in investing activities was caused by the non-recurrence of the equipment purchase in the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the net cash generated from financing activities was $97,748 and $137,577, reflecting a decrease of $39,829. Our net cash generated from financing activities declined mainly because the financing generated from related parties was reduced.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to our company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on our company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value.

As of June 30, 2018, except for the above, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, due to our limited internal accounting staff, our disclosure controls were not effective as of June 30, 2018, such information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the president and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
